Adhesive label

Abstract

An adhesive label includes a label base formed of a translucent resin film, an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the label base, and a release liner attached to the adhesive layer. Slits are formed in the release liner to define an initial release-liner portion and a final release-liner portion. In the state in which the initial release-liner portion is peeled off, the adhesive layer can be partially exposed, and printing is effected on the exposed surface of the adhesive layer.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An adhesive label which can be adhered to an adherend by placing a printed surface between a surface to be applied and the adherend, said adhesive label comprising: a label base;   an adhesive layer provided on one surface of said label base; and   a release liner attached to a surface of said adhesive layer,   wherein slits are formed in said release liner, and said slits form an initial release-liner portion which allows at least one of said one surface and said adhesive layer to be exposed by leaving a portion of said release liner.   
     
     
       2. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein said slits are formed continuously in such a manner as to form a closed loop. 
     
     
       3. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein a part of said slits projects outside in such a manner as to depict an arc so as to form a tongue for being picked up when said release liner is partially peeling off. 
     
     
       4. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein said release sheet has a plane area larger than that of said label base. 
     
     
       5. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein said release sheet has a plane area equivalent to that of said label base. 
     
     
       6. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein said label base is formed of a translucent resin sheet. 
     
     
       7. An adhesive label according to claim 1, wherein said label base is formed of one of an opaque resin sheet and a paper. 
     
     
       8. An adhesive label which can be adhered to an adherend by placing a printed surface between a surface to be applied and the adherend, said adhesive label comprising: a plurality of label bases;   adhesive layers each provided on one surface of each of said label bases; and   a release liner for holding in one unit said plurality of label bases respectively attached to said adhesive layers,   wherein slits are formed in said release liner, and said slits form an initial release-liner portion which allows at least one of said one surface and said adhesive layer to be exposed by leaving a portion of said release liner.   
     
     
       9. An adhesive label according to claim 8, wherein said slits are formed continuously in such a manner as to form a closed loop, and a part of said slits is provided in such a manner as to form a tongue by depicting an arc, said tongue being used to specify a position for starting the peeling off of said release liner by picking up said tongue. 
     
     
       10. An adhesive label according to claim 8, wherein said slits are formed in such a manner as to extend across two or more of said label bases. 
     
     
       11. An adhesive label according to claim 10, wherein said slits are formed continuously in such a manner as to form a closed loop, and a part of said slits is provided in such a manner as to form a tongue by depicting an arc, said tongue being used to specify a position for starting the peeling off of said release liner by picking up said tongue. 
     
     
       12. An adhesive label according to claim 8, wherein each of said label bases is formed of one of a transparent sheet and an opaque sheet.
